Thanks for the post. I haven't had time to read it all yet, but I was particularly interested in the following:

"We assert that the critical phenomenon which determines success is an occurrence in the brain characterized essentially by the uniting of subject and object"

This is extremely remniscent of Robert Pirsig's Metaphysics of Quality, and seems (superficially) similar to what I understand of Zen. The fact that so many spiritual systems seem to share this fact is intriguing to say the least.
